4) And in Brazil 🇧🇷 under Bolsanaro, all three are converging at once with the new #P1 variant.... this is our future if we keep on denying the science and public health efforts to stop the pandemic...
📌Fully vaccinated people can gather together indoors.
📌If grandparents have been vaccinated, they can visit family if they haven’t been vaccinated only if so long as they’re not at risk for severe disease. #COVID19
2) To be clear—vaccinated people can only meet unvaccinated **low risk** people from only 1 family household without masks or distancing.
➡️Don’t try 2nd family household (don’t criss cross bubbles)
➡️Don’t do any unvaccinated family if they are not low risk.
3) again, “But the visit should be limited to one household: If the adult children’s unvaccinated neighbors drop by, the visit should move outdoors and everyone should wear masks and distance.” !!! nytimes.com/2021/03/08/hea…
Schools across England are reopening again *today*. No school mask requirements. No school air quality & ventilation guidelines—it is so dangerous that it is “medieval” says Professor @theAliceRoberts.
God save 🏴 & its children from #B117. #COVID19
2) UK 🇬🇧 was sooooo close to #ZeroCovid - just a few weeks more - but all of that is put into jeopardy by lies by the govt and many of its advisors that misleadingly claim kids don’t/barely transmit. Schools can be safe—but only with airborne precautions and ventilation.
3) French data agrees with the UK data above that children are being afflicted by #B117 than before. This also matches data out of Italy 🇮🇹 and Israel 🇮🇱.
I weep for the people of Brazil 🇧🇷 — #COVID19 deaths now at all time high under the strain of #P1 variant that has surged in recent month, and its President hell bent on doing nothing and muzzling scientists. Brazil may soon be facing a humanitarian crisis. World needs to act. 🧵
2) The crisis that looms for Brazil 🇧🇷 is almost indescribable. Many doctors in Brazil are screaming the word “genocide” at the level of neglect and willful efforts to block anything that will stop the pandemic.
3) Here was the situation last week in one the **wealthiest** regions in Brazil. Look how hospitalizations and deaths have taken off with the rise of the #P1 variant that is more infectious and also has some properties of reinfection.
Dear 🌎 friends and the people of Brazil 🇧🇷—the world is watching the horrible #COVID19 crisis—we know you are suffering, under a leader that ignores/muzzles you. We hear your cries.
Brazil may be soon facing an epic humanitarian crisis if we don’t act.
2) After I posted what was happening in Brazil, I received a chilling email—
“Dear Eric:
I’m a professor at University of XXX, in Brazil. I’m writing privately because academics are being chased here. It’s not a matter of poor leadership but of an ongoing extermination project.”
3) “Bolsonaro is a psychopath. All his actions are surgically planned, with harmful consequences for all planetary health. You do not need to take my opinion into account; just take a look at the headlines of the articles printed in the most credible newspapers around the world.”
2) Reuters: - MEGHAN SAYS: ROYALS DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE ARCHIE A PRINCE BECAUSE THERE WERE 'CONCERNS AND CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW DARK HIS SKIN MIGHT BE WHEN HE WAS BORN' @Rover829
VARIANTS IN TEXAS—An awful lot of dangerous variants in the Houston metro area. We have the more contagious & severe 🇬🇧#B117, more reinfection prone 🇿🇦#B1351, super contagious 🇧🇷#P1 & worrisome #P2, plus 2 types of CA #B1429 & #1427. #COVID19
